California is placing several ballot initiatives in front of voters today. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said voters need to pass these initiative to balance California's budget. At least, that's what we think he said. We're still waiting for the English translation. Here's a quick overview of the ballot propositions:
1A Allows teachers to seize student lunch money for pension fund.
2C Permits legislature to bet lottery funds at Harrah's sports book.
4D Requires homeless to give 10 percent of aluminum cans to state treasury.
FU Creates 33% percent tax on cigarettes. Portion of funds will be used for "Start Smoking California" campaign.
7R Legalizes and taxes pot. Marks fundamental change in California tax strategy - from "Soak the Rich" to "Sock it to The Stoners."
8P Creates job program for California's who fail their urine tests as a result of Prop. 7R.
36DD Taxes lap dances.
